What if the dot remained exactly like it is now and the -> took
the place of the dot in the proposal; regular method calls when
possible and forwarded to opExtension (opDotExp needs a better name)
when that fails?

Thus your generic algorithm can use -> and work in all cases, and the
dot operator remains the same as it is now.

The obvious downside is duplication of features, but this might be
able to please everyone.
